How do I obtain a Fee Breakdown for reimbursement purposes?

How do I set up an Authorized User?

Within TouchNet, the student has the option to set up an Authorized User who will
also have access to the eBill and receive notification when a statement is posted.
This can be accomplished as follows:

When are the bills sent?

Registered students are billed in June with payment due July 15th for the Fall term,
and in November with payment due December 15th for the Spring term. Incoming and continuing
students registering after these dates will be billed once course registration has
been performed. All charges are due upon registration for Summer and Winter terms.

If my employer or another third party will be paying my charges directly to the University,
how can I obtain credit against my bill?

If the student's charges are going to be paid by a third party such as an employer
or another state agency it is the student's responsibility to provide the Bursar's
Office with a letter of authorization from the third party payer prior to the due
date of the charges to avoid holds, late fees and/or classes being dropped. Once we
have received a valid authorization letter from the third party payer stating that
payment will be made directly to the university, the dates of service they will be
paying and what charges they are covering, the Bursar's Office will defer your account
for the authorized amount and bill the third party. This is a courtesy billing and
the charges remain the responsibility of the student in the event that the third party
does not submit payment.

If I am expecting a scholarship or alternative loan, how can I obtain credit for it
against my bill?

Students are eligible to receive either the Merit-based Admissions Scholarship Award(s)
offered in your Acceptance Letter, or one of the following: the Johnny Floyd Scholarship,
an Honors Scholarship, full Athletic Scholarship or a CCSU Foundation full tuition
scholarship sponsored by a corporate sponsor. If you are awarded the Johnny Floyd
Scholarship, an Honors Scholarship, full Athletic Scholarship or a CCSU Foundation
full tuition scholarship sponsored by a corporate sponsor after you have been awarded
a Merit Based Admissions Scholarship in your Acceptance Letter, the University will
assume that you have elected to retain only the scholarship with the highest value,
unless you notify the University otherwise within 15 days of receipt of the second
scholarship.

Students who expect to receive private scholarships and wish to have credit applied
to their bill need to present notification of the scholarship award to the Financial
Aid Office. Students in need of an ALTERNATIVE LOAN must contact the Financial Aid
Office for application procedures. Once processing is COMPLETE, credit will be entered
against their charges.

What does it mean when my Financial Aid says pending?

Financial Aid shows: "Pending Credits" are memo'd against your charges and you are
not required to pay that amount at this time. Once disbursed (after the start of term)
it will go from "Pending Credit" to an actual credit.

What happens to excess financial aid?

Excess financial aid (money exceeding all student charges) is distributed in check
form directly to the student. Checks must be mailed and cannot be picked up. Students
may also arrange to have their excess financial aid distributed electronically to
their savings or checking account by signing up for Direct Deposit (see form). Students
who have a Achieve Financial account may arrange to have both Direct Deposit and access
to those funds utilizing the CCSU ID as an ATM card.

Can I pick up my refund check on campus?

No. For Internal Control purposes, the university does not allow checks to be picked
up for any reason. We highly recommend that you sign up for Direct Deposit online,
thereby eliminating the need to wait for your check to arrive through the mail. If
you prefer to have a paper check, it is important to have your most recent address
on file at the Registrar's Office (Change of Address form).

Navigate to the CCSU home page at www.ccsu.edu. Point to CentralPipeline, then click on CentralPipeline for Students (or click on Current Students).

Can I use some of my excess financial aid to buy books?

Up to a maximum of $800 in certain excess financial aid may be transferred by students
to their Blue Chip cards for the purpose of purchasing books at the on-campus CCSU
Bookstore beginning ten days prior to the first day of classes. This is done by completing
a form in the Bursar's Office. Please see form.
